I am at a stage in my truck project that i have installed most of all the essential parts needed to drive it and i do drive it . Now i am looking at installing a safety switch so the engine wont start in gear ??? Can somebody point me in the right direction to the hardware that i need...........

I did a search and read where you splice in between the start igintion wire going to the solenoid to a switch somewhere on the column?? Do i have to buy this hardware that goes on the column ? I have IDIDIT steering column with a clump of wires coming out.

Automatic or standard transmission? If automatic most of them have the neutral safety start switch on the transmission it self and you just need to wire the switch in series with the wire to the S terminal on the solenoid. If it is a standard transmission the easiest way is put clutch safety switch in so it won't start until the clutch pedal is depressed.

I will check for the cut out slot tommorrow and see if it has one. I dont remember see it but could of overlooked it. I know for sure it has no switch on the outside of the column unless it is wired internal and included in the wiring harness plug. I can look at my column wiring diagram and see if its wired for the safety switch...

I looked on the column and no notch for a switch. I also looked at the IDIDIT diagram and no wire for a safety switch. I wonder if the Bowtie tranny will have any kind of switch built in for park safety switch.???

Just click on the above link for a photo and then clink on the photo to enlarge it.....

General Motors made some neutral start switches like these for the Turbo 400's in early vans.........and I run one in a roadster. Works great........and looks good too...especially in a roadster where you can see all of the steering column...
